God told me to tell Nineveh (Assyria) to repent or be destroyed in 3 days. I hated Nineveh and wanted it destroyed and sailed away in a ship going in a different way. A fish swallowed me and vomited me up on Assyria’s shores. So I told the people, 3 days and Nineveh will be destroyed. The people repented and God saved Nineveh, I was unhappy because of all the bad things Assyria did to my people. God spared my enemy who should have died.

Unlike many others, I don’t see religion as inherently bad. Just when people co-opt it for selfish political reason (wealth, power, fame) that it goes bad. If you removed religion, well people would still be people, they’d just find another way to dick each other over. Vigilance within is massively undervalued and under represented though :(

“If you removed religion, well people would still be people, they’d just find another way to **** each other over.” Oh. All righty. Now try these: “If you removed superstition, well people would still be people, they’d just find another way to **** each other over.” “If you removed prejudice, well people would still be people, they’d just find another way to **** each other over.” “If you removed tribalism, well people would still be people, they’d just find another way to **** each other over.” Get it, “LogiC”? True, removing any one of those doesn’t cure all, but each removal sure makes an improvement…
